Possibly Stolen Black Mage Pic

I didn't email abuse with this, because although I'm almost 95% sure this was stolen, I have no clue from where.

The artist in question only has one other artwork posted, and it's MUCH lower quality than this.

It looks like one of those mage-boss things from Final Fantasy IX (what were they called? Waltzes?) but I haven't played that in years, so I don't know.

That's right, they were the three Black Waltzes. But good luck guessing whether that's #1, #2, or #3. (I remember #3 had a staff...)

Thanks for the input, guys! ^_^ Having a little more time to search today, I found that this piccy IS of black waltz #2.

I searched for official art of FF9, and happened upon a personal fanart site.

Here it is.

I found the waltz piccy we're looking for near the bottom of the page.

And it's here!

And near the top, it has a lil' disclaimer/copyright thingy:

[quote]Final Fantasy Square, all the pictures and stories here done by No.421 (McT)[/quote]

I'll e-mail him [i]just to make sure[/i] that he has no account on FAC, but I think we're pretty much set here.

Okay, sorry for the double post (even though they're hours apart). Just an update:

I got a reply from the original artist, and no, that's not their account, so I'll e-mail abuse with it. It's fine to lock the topic now, I guess. ^_^

AP and abuse team notified. It's only a matter of time now.
